Phangan shores.

Pants: unbranded, Shanghai metro | Slip: Calvin Klein

MONDAY. My makeup for the duration of the trip was minimal, minus a fewmetropolitan parties, which required that I pull from a travel tube of Laura Mercier primer and false eyelashes. If I did put on a face, it was with a few strokes of liquid liner (VS), waterproof mascara (Dior Iconic), and a nude gloss (LORAC, Vintage). And I'm going to give major applause to this CK navyblue slip which has served as my hiking tank top, beach throw-over, and clubbing dress... knotted and/or belted at the waist or hips... for 3 long months. It's going to retire for a bit, of course, but I love here how the navy blue of it was the same navy blue of these harem-ish trousers found at a metro station pop-up in Shanghai. They stood out from all the elephant-print pants I came across in Koh Phangan and Bangkok.
